A Few Tips For a Healthy Heart
I'm still enjoying what native Floridians describe as "cool weather." That would be when the temperature is in the 70's. In Long Island, where I have spent a good portion of my life, that is a heat wave of monstrous proportions this time of year. Here when it is in the 70's I am peeling things off, and this time in Long Island I am always putting things on.
A friend of mine who's a former chef once said to me, "If you like warm weather, get a job in a kitchen. If you really want to burn up, work in a busy kitchen."
I had the fun experience of walking by a broiler one day and I can assure you my friend wasn't kidding. That broiler in particular ran at 850 degrees. Great for steak, not so much for people working within ten feet.
Moving along to health and fitness, here is your heart advice for the afternoon.
1. You don't have to be a man to have a heart attack. Heart disease is now the most common cause of death for women, beating out breast cancer. And 150,000 people per year die under the age of 65 from heart attacks. So not just the old should be worried (though 65 doesn't look so old to me these days).
2. What you eat is important. When foodies talk about eating the rainbow, they are on to something. Fresh fruit and vegetables come in all sorts of colors. The brighter the colors, the more more heart healthy anti-oxidants are present. You should eat a percentage of fresh fruits and vegetables raw. If you have a juicer, that works too.
3. If you're past the age of thirty-five and experience some E.D., you might have some artery blockage. Have a cardiologist check this out immediately. Don't wait for a yearly physical.
One of the greatest things you can do for your heart is to start taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil. There are even some signs that doctors here and there are starting to get the message.
The National Institute For Health and Clinical Excellence now advises doctors to provide fish oil for patients that have suffered heart attacks. The Institute believes that if doctors follow their advice, their patients will be at lower risk of suffering further heart attacks.
That's good advice, but it's after the fact, and what is called post heart attack treatment. Patients need to get on fish oil early, in order to help prevent cardiac events.
Enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil can be taken by almost anyone at any age, and the benefits are numerous. A story in this morning's newspaper told the story of a professional baseball player who is returning to play much earlier than expected. The reason? Fish oil healed his aching joints much faster than he expected.
In the Institute study I mentioned earlier, omega-3 fatty acids cut the incidence of recurring sudden death by heart attack 45%.
Now, why wait until you've already had a heart attack? - 17268
